I really was invested in this book from the start. It was a quick read. I liked how it was completed into parts - the bachelorette party- the investigation- and after. however, my only complaint is the ended. It felt rushed to me and I wish I would have had more information.

I absolutely loved this book! I devoured it in a weekend. From the characters to the alternating views, this book had me hooked from the first chapter. This is a classic whodunit with layers of female friendship and the cattiness that comes with it added in like a delicious triple layer cake. This was a wild rollercoaster ride of a book and did not let up until the very end. The drama between all of the women and their relationship to Rosalee made this book very relatable to real life. I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of thrillers or suspense.

That twist in the last chapter of the book!!

I devoured The Bachelorette Party in a day, I couldn't put it down. It's like the game Clue with a bit of CSI action going on. It's a fast-paced whodunit thriller with an eerie feel.

It's told in multi povs, set over the course of a couple of days while celebrating the bride-to-be in New Orleans.
I enjoyed how the author introduced each character, how all the women had a motive to kill someone, and yet you still don't know who has been murdered and who is the killer until the very end. Even during the festivities, there are high-tension scenarios that create this foreboding mood. Even the descriptions of the estate they were staying at were creepy with its dark history.

I highly recommend this entertaining thriller, full of secrets and a jaw-dropping twist.
Thank you Netgalley, Harper 360, and Carissa Ann Lynch for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third Carissa Ann Lynch book I've been lucky enough to read in advance and this might be the BEST so far.

A Bachelorette, her (weird) cousin, her (pushy) best friend, her future (awful) mother in law, her future (terrible) sister in law and her future husband's (gorgeous) best friend all arrive in New Orleans for a fun-filled and celebratory weekend. By the end of the weekend, one person is dead.

Money, status, family history and drama, plus loads of food and drinks all stack on top of each other. The mansion where the women are staying is another character added to the story. With the added party atmosphere from New Orleans, solving the mystery of who died and who did it is down to the minute.

Carissa Ann Lynch is a master at creating fast paced thrillers and this is no different. From page 1, I was intrigued and could NOT put this down - in fact, I knocked this book out in one night.

Wildly fun and exciting, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun murder mystery where everyone is a suspect.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book!

A woman's best friend, cousin, MIL, SIL, and her fiancé's female best friend meet in New Orleans for her Bachelorette trip. One of them ends up dead.

I felt like this was a quick read, and I did want to keep reading to find out what happened. I do think that the story ended up being just OK. It reminded me of the vibe of the book The Writers Retreat (which I liked), but it ended pretty abruptly and was not particularly memorable.

I don't want to come across as harsh or mean in my review, but this book was weak. I was really into it as a popcorn thriller for the first 60%, but then it took a complete turn. The suspense and tension between characters was building up into something and then everyone and everything snapped out of nowhere. After that it became a completely different book. The characters' actions and changes in personalities made no sense and came out of nowhere. The ending was not satisfying at all. I don't really want to say too much more beyond that.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this ARC to dive into!

Picture it: you, your mother-in-law to be and sister-in-law to be, best friend, cousin, and ...husband's childhood friend for some reason are all headed out of town for your bachelorette party. You're so excited, practically buzzing, right? Except... everybody pretty much hates at least one other person in this bridal party for reasons that have been left unsaid, but will be aired out over a deadly game of truth or dare. Still excited?

Ladies and gentlemen, holy cannoli. I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I read it one read. I didn't have an issue with any of the characters and truly admired how the author made it easy for you to side with each of them as they took over the narration as the chapters went on. My only gripes with the book would be that 1) I often forgot who was narrating the chapter I was reading and had to go back to the start of the chapter, refresh my memory, and then go back to where I was. This could be a Kindle problem, but I am not sure, and 2) the ending of the book was going so so well, until a certain scene right up at the end. It seemed entirely out of character for the two based on how they had been behaving toward one another all along.

All in all, I loved reading this and honestly? I might give it another read... just because, y'know?

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a good easy read!! I will definitely be reading more from this author. This is one of those books that you don’t want to put down..I read it in just 2 days. The whole time you’re trying to figure out who died and who’s the killer.
Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to read this book. #TheBacheloretteParty #NetGalley

This book was okay! I enjoyed some parts of it and others I did not. The characters were alright too! Simplistic writing and not the best ending but overall a decent read!

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

This story follows Rosalee (bride to be) Elizabeth (her soon to be monster, I mean mother, in law) Bri (sister in law) Mara (best friend) Georgia (grooms best friend) and Tinsley (cousin), as they spend a bachelorette weekend together. Let me start by saying, this group of characters are all supremely unlikable. The opening prologue of the book reveals one of them dies on the trip, but none of these women are decent enough people to care who it is. The synopsis given makes it sound like there’s a super tense game of truth or dare, which honestly takes place for two pages in one chapter. Not worth describing the whole book around. I gave this 3 stars because it wasn’t horrible, but it was just okay. There’s nothing about it that would make me recommend it over other, better reads, but it wasn’t the worst story I’ve read. Overall it was just nothing special or shocking.

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted ARC.

I LOVED this book. What an easy, enjoyable, and quick read. The characters all sucked, but it worked for them. This was a mystery until the very end with both the killer and the killed unknown for sometime.

The writing style was perfect & even though it was from multiple points of view, it was still so easy to follow. This author also titled each chapter with whose point of view it was and what their role was in the story. THANK YOU. Too many authors just give names and make the reader create a name chart, talk about confusing.

I’d LOVE to read more books by this author. Not too long or drawn out, just perfect.

such a fun read! I really enjoyed the story line and the character development. I was kept engaged and wanting to know more about the characters and their journey. definitely will be recommending.

Thank you for the ARC!
This book was so good! I couldn’t put it down. I loved the different point of view from the different characters. It definitely kept me guessing until the end !

I really enjoyed this book ! All the different POV were easy to follow and made the story more interesting ! All the characters were pretty realistic for the most part as well and I appreciated it ! The book was a lil bit of a slow burn on the beginning but the second half picked up ! A solid 4 star rating !

2.5 stars rounded up

I was excited to read this, intrigued by the setting in New Orleans and the large estate with a bloody past. Rosalee is having her bachelorette party with a group of unlikeable women - her best friend Mara, her cousin Tinsley, her future mother-in-law Elizabeth, her future sister-in-law Bri, and her fiancés childhood best friend Georgia.

I liked the build up as to who has been killed but the reveal was anticlimactic. I didn’t care for the writing style, especially the overuse of ellipses. It was a quick read but I think it could have used some more pages to go into the setting and the history of the house more.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch
"Watch your back at all time" this is an absolute thriller and chillers for sure. This book has you turning until the end and honestly left you gasping for air for sure, because you will never guess plot twist to this amazing chiller. 10/10

This book was a quick, easy read ! I enjoyed the premise as well as the complexity of the characters and how their relationships intertwined with each other. The author was excellent at describing the different personalities of all the characters and how for some it caused issues. I also liked how it was not drawn out but also easy to follow.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an automatic five star for me. I knew from only a few pages in that if the pacing continued and the ending was solid... it would be a five star! Everything about this book worked for me. I loved getting every POV and that almost none of the characters were completely likable. There were small twists and turns throughout, but also clues put in to deceive the reader. The setting also really worked for me as a take on "the country house" trope that is so common in mysteries.

How the victim was ultimately revealed was perfect and suspenseful through process of elimination. The ending was a twist without being in your face and absurd and left me completely satisfied. This closed circle mystery did not disappoint!!

A quick, easy to read murder mystery.

This story focuses on six ladies who went to NOLA for a bachelorette party. Told in multiple points of view, you learn about each one of them. They come from different backgrounds and each have their own problems. As they are on the trip, tensions get higher between them and one of them is found dead. With only them being in the house, who did it?

The epilogue had a good twist that I didn’t see coming! Overall, I enjoyed this book. I was hooked and wanted to figure out who did it and why. I did feel like their could have been a little more of the “why” explained but it was still good.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 for my arc copy. This is my voluntary and honest opinion.
